Architects - Part 1 Architectural Assistant - July-2015 - July-2016

Assisting in the delivery of the amalgamation and refurbishment of two flats into one for a private residence in Pimlico, Stages 4-5. The job involved a lot of problem solving through design on site. I was in charge of completing the joinery package for the job under the supervision of my director. It was an invaluable experience to witness both design and construction in a very short amount of time.

Hale Wharf Phase 2

Professional Experience Part 2

RIBA Stage: 3-4 Sep 2021 - April Client: Muse Tottenham Hale, London Project Architect - Simon French

Hale Wharf is waterside development

Situated on a slender island on the River Lea, the project provides much needed new housing to meet the needs of this changing part of north-east London. It will also open up access to a striking waterside setting, long inaccessible and underused, with new pedestrian and cycle bridges that will bring people in and improving connectivity between Tottenham Hale and the Lea Valley Park. The architecture, its roofscape and use of brick draws references from the historic canalside identity characteristic of east London. Small retail units will activate the ground floor while the employment barges moored on the channel are safeguarded.

Personal Involvement - I worked as part of a team behind the coordinated and technical design of the affordable housing accommodation, during stages 3/4. I have worked across all buildings working mainly on the internal packages such as: apartment layouts, internal linings, reflected ceiling plans and finishes. I also developed the external signage package, coordinated MEP and structural information as well as managing both the private and social rent specifications. Daily tasks involved preparing drawings and images, mainly in Revit for internal and external reviews whilst attending design team meetings.

Elephant & Castle, London Project Architect - Miranda Li

The redevelopment of the Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre and London College of Communication (LCC) offers the opportunity to correct postwar urban challenges that have long afflicted one of south London’s busiest junctions. Anchored by a new outwardly facing LCC, this is a remarkably hybrid scheme which will have many rich ingredients, from Britain’s largest purpose built build-to-rent housing project to incubator workspace for recent grads and a new home for the Stanley Kubrick Archive - all integrated with one of London’s best connected transport hubs.

Personal Involvement - I worked as part of a team behind the coordinated and technical design of all parts of the project, during stage 5. I have worked across all buildings working mainly on the internal packages such as: the setting out drawings, stair package, lift package, and joinery package. Additionally, I have coordinated MEP and structural information whilst reviewing and commenting on consultant and contractor information.

Daily tasks involved preparing drawings and images, mainly in Revit for internal and external reviews whilst attending design team meetings.

Cundy Street Quarter

DSDHA Professional Experience Part 2

RIBA Stage: 2-3 Sep 2019 - Mar 2020 Client: Grosvenor Belgravia, London Project Architect - Isabel Moreira

‘The Site is owned by Grosvenor Estate Belgravia, who has identified the opportunity to create a sensitive, comprehensive and high quality residential-led scheme, which delivers new homes of all tenures including much needed Affordable Housing for Westminster. This housing would be delivered alongside a vibrant mix of uses, high quality architecture, new and improved public spaces and landscaping which encourages activity and permeability through the Site and which meets the needs of the local community and new residents.

The design proposals will almost double the number of Affordable Homes on the Site and provide much needed housing of all types in Westminster, while delivering better public spaces, more amenities for local people and 190 new permanent jobs, all while improving the long-term environment.

The Proposed Development comprises a number of buildings as follows: Building A - Senior Living Accommodation.

Building B - Private and Intermediate Accommodation. Building C - Social Rent Accommodation

The Masterplan introduces new pedestrian routes through the Site to increase permeability and tie the Site to its surrounding area - Elizabeth Place as a north south axis connects Ebury Square and Orange Square, and Five Fields Row and Clifford’s Row - all reinstating historic routes.’

Personal Involvement - I assisted with the development of the Senior Living Accommodation, through stages 2-3, until we submitted for planning in March 2019. Daily tasks involved preparing drawings and images, mainly in Revit and Rhino, for internal and external reviews. Attending design team meetings, coordinating M&E information. Assisting in the preparation of a full planning set of drawings across all building within the development. (CGI’s produced externally).

Scheme Overview

Cundy Street Quarter consists of three main buildings varying in height from 5 to 11 storeys (including ground floor level):

1. Building A - which consists of Buildings A1 and A2, both Senior Living fronting Ebury Street and Cundy Street

2. Building B - which consists of Building B1 with Pri-vate Residential apartments along Ebury Square and Avery Farm Row and Building B2/B3 comprising of Intermediate Residential apartments along Pimlico Road

3. Building C - Social Rent with an address on Ebury Street and Elizabeth Place Gardens

Additionally, the existing basement flats within the Coleshill Flats are to be converted to retail and / or workspace. The ground floor frontages will be acti vated through the introduction of a range of com plementary commercial units including a food retail (Class A1), non-food retail (Class A1), restaurants / cafes (Class A3), drinking

establishments (Class A4), a cinema (Class D2) and a community facility (Class D1). The proposals will also deliver improved public realm at ground floor level, and at Ebury Square and Orange Square, along with dedicated playspace, covered in detail under Section 5.0.

Buildings A and C are sensitive additions fronting Belgravia Conservation Area that continue estab lished building lines, materiality and tonal palettes, building on the language of brick buildings found in the local context which extend from Elizabeth Street to Pimlico Road.

On Ebury Street, Building C draws direct inspira tion from the Coleshill Flats with its brick tone and composition of facade elements that largely align with key datums from the Grade II listed building. In addition to this, Building C steps back from the fourth floor upwards to respectfully emphasize the roofscape of the Coleshill Flats while receding from view along the largely residential Ebury Street.

Building A

Building B

Building C

Building A is a well-proportioned mansion building and creates a dignified frontage to Ebury Street, reinstating the historical building line with the vehicular Senior Living entrance on Cundy Street. The residential accommodation respects the four storey datum of the street established by the Coleshill Flats with a set-back attic storey and mansard roof, providing animation to the upper levels. At Ground Floor level, a unified treatment at cornice level as well as within the pavement, maximises greening, provides privacy and enhances the residential character of the local area.

The removal of retail and introduction of ‘Quiet’ activity lining Ebury Street from comments received during consultation led to the location of the Craft Activity Room, Library and Resident Lounge. In contrast to this, more vibrant activity surrounds the courtyard with the Bistro, Senior Living Restaurant and break-out spaces, as well as accessing the cores to the Basement facilities and residential quarters above. Front facing retail lines Five Fields Row and Elizabeth Place, with future opportunities for operators to facilitate retail activities that can also be accessed by residents from inside Senior Living Building.

Kungsholmens Temporary Fire Station

Mackintosh School of Architecture

PostGrad Stage 5 - 2019

Location - Stockholm

Tutor - Graeme Massie

The Kungsholmens Temporary Fire Station is an adaptive reuse project for an Emergency Training Centre and Temporary Fire Station in Stockholm, Sweden.

The thesis explores the dynamic between permanent and temporary architecture and questions ideals that good architecture should embody values that are permanent.

The project proposes to mediate between temporary and permanent architecture resulting in a hybrid of the two, allowing the building to sustain an experimental site of interaction and engagement beyond expiration.

The adaptive extension of the sites existing building houses the permanent, non-practical programme of the training centre. The temporary site provides a

flexible space for a changing programme related to practical emergency training.

The temporary sites current programme responds to the need for a temporary fire station in Kungsholmen, Stockholm, whilst the existing is to be renovated. The programme requires for the full operation of the fire service whilst acting as a training centre for emergency readiness. The temporary fire station is built using salvaged material from the recently dismantled temporary market hall in Östermalm.

The proposal deconstructs and repurposes the market hall according to the fire services needs. The structure can be easily disassembled and rebuilt in a new location or reused for when the centre holds the next programme related to emergency training and prevention.

The Barras Traders Tavern

PostGrad Stage 4 - Spring 2018

Semester 2-3

Location - East Glasgow

Tutor - Mark Baines, Isabelle Deakin

‘The Barras Traders Tavern’ is a Trade Union for the Barras Market.

An organized association of workers & tradesman formed to protect and fur ther the rights, interests and history of the Barras Market.

The Barras market in the east end of Glasgow has been part of the city’s fab ric for almost a century, taking its name from the barrow stalls that were once ubiquitous in the area.

But weekend markets and stalls are much quieter than they were in decades past and the level of trading and take-up of stalls is substantially lower than it was ten years ago.

Visiting the Barras Market on a cold weekend, some traders are already shut ting up at midday, peak time of footfall. The tradesman who are still open appear less concerned about selling but rather socialising with their fellow market trad ers. At some stalls the it feels as if the traders are here just as much to socialise as they are to trade and sell. Feeling at the fringe of the city with little support

from the council through advertising or infrastructure. Is it the cold winter weather affecting the Barras traders or are they loosing sight of the Market’s potential?

The Barras people would benefit from an establishment which celebrates and protects there culture whilst opening out their unique history to visitors, year round.

The Barras traders Tavern follows the programme of a traditional trade union such as: council meetings, a assembly hall, library, gallery, bar and chairman conveyors suite. But in a Barras style the programme will focus around the run ning of a large public house, a building of urban exchange open to both the traders & visiting public.

Visitors and tradesmen can celebrate the Barras market’s rich culture over a pint of beer, or learn about its history in the traders gallery and library. It will have the resources to hold council meetings and space for market selling.
